PAUL RYAN: JOB OF U.S. LAWMAKER IS TO PUT YOURSELF IN SHOES OF FOREIGN CITIZENS
Breitbart ^ | October 20, 2015 | by Julia Hahn

Posted on 10/20/2015 4:25:30 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

As the donor class continues to push for a Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)58% Speakership, conservative activists have renewed their scrutiny of Ryan’s support for a radical Republican policy of open borders. Breitbart News has discovered yet another little-noticed video in which Ryan articulates his commitment to immigration policies that would dissolve America’s sovereignty.

The video, uploaded by the Journal Times, shows Ryan at a July 2013 bilingual Hispanic Listening Session in Racine, Wisconsin. At the meeting, Paul Ryan told a predominantly Hispanic audience that the job of a U.S. lawmaker is to put oneself in the shoes of foreign nationals who want to come to the United States, then work to discover solutions to make their lives better.

The Journal Times notes that the purpose of the meeting was for Ryan to “explai[n] to them his motives” for pushing to enact Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% ’s amnesty and mass immigration agenda in the House of Representatives.

Very few people north of Saskatchewan would make it after things have gone up in flames. The native culture and skills that made survival in the area possible without relying on outside support are largely gone.

I’m slightly north of the magic 100-miles north of the boarder (the thin ban of Canada where 90% of the population lives), and it would be tough enough here.

"PAUL RYAN: JOB OF U.S. LAWMAKER IS TO PUT YOURSELF IN SHOES OF FOREIGN CITIZENS..."

..... Actually Paul Ryan and ALL Lawmakers in office within America ....... The job of the so called "Lawmaker" is to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States..... It Is the supreme law of the land under which all laws must pass.

Shaft withdrew his name for speaker, said Ryan is the “right man for the job”. Does this mean the Freedom Caucus folded?

It’s totally our fault.

All lamp posts in DC should be decorated. Happy winter holidays! Nah, don’t utter that other obscene name.

It’s considered so cool for the traitor class to be anything but American.

One would think the shoes elected officials should be donning would be those given to them by their American voters - not foreigners.

I do not really believe that it is the principal duty (or even the secondary duty) of an American lawmaker to look after the best interests of "foreign nationals"...

Hell NO Ryan!

You were elected to protect your voters and to enact legislation that helps them, not illegals, who didn’t vote for you.

It was tongue in cheek, but I’m sure he’s got a place in mind after he helps accomplish the demolition of Amerika.

We have 326 million people, 42 million of whom are immigrants...Why are we still importing people?.... Every politician says our immigration policy is broken. None says shut it down completely until it is fixed.

It wouldn’t surprise me if many people who do have bug out plans have plans that in the end won’t work out. It is easy to think about stocking up with enough material to allow x number of people to exist for y number of years, but this is approaching life as a math problem that ends when one dies, or shortly thereafter.

In the end, one needs a sustainable way of living. We aren’t living in a sustainable way—beginning with how many children are brought into this world by people who will raise them responsibly (there aren’t enough of these sorts of children). So things will change.
